ACK! I am so late with playing along!! So many things to do and yesterday was my birthday. Time is flying by. But, I finally got a card made. I have never missed a Coffee Lovers Blog Hop and don't plan to start! lol

For the background I just splattered several colors of sprays until I was satisfied. No scientific planning there! lol. I placed the chevron die cut to ground the cup added the tag with some Lawn Fawn Trimmings and called it a day.

Hey there! Today, I am showcasing a brand new stamp set called "Paws of Love" from My Style Stamps. This set is great for the dog lovers in your life! The puppy is large and perfect to color in with all types of coloring mediums.

For the background I used my favorite Distress Sprays and some white Mr. Hueys to splatter some spots for a nighttime snowy backdrop.

Hey there! Happy December! I hope you all are getting all your cooking making and shopping done! I'm almost finished. I still have to get my Christmas cards in the mail! I am still in awe of the latest Newtons Nook Designs stamp set, "Whispering Pines". I love the techniques you can achieve with a solid stamp.

For, this one I inked it up in a green and grey, spritzed a light mist of water to get the colors to lightly blend (but, they didn't). For the background I went to my go to Distress Sprays and Gold Heidi Swapp spray for the bottom. Topped the card off with some sequins for ornaments and tah-dah a card!

I hope you all have a happy holidays and give some Newton's Nook to the crafter in your family! It makes a great present!

Welcome to the 3rd Annual Deck the Halls with Inky Paws Blog Hop! I have to say I am Geeking out on the special guests we have along on the hop with us today! I have to bow down to their talent!

I used the BRAND NEW BONUS Stamp set "Whispering Pines". I used 3 different types of inks to get a gradient effect. Spritz it with water to get the colors to blend and then stamped the image on watercolor paper. I heat embossed the snow with a glittery white powder. For the sentiment I stamped on a piece of vellum and punched it out. I went for a clean and simple look with a lot of technique.

Quick Tip: If you don't have an embossing buddy around. Just head to the pantry and grab your baking powder (it's whats in the magic bags and the tools!!) Use a dry brush to apply before stamping your image to emboss!

For this card I lightly water colored on to Kraft Card Stock. The cheapy set from Michaels is chalky and will sit on top of the kraft card stock for some bold color. I embossed the card base with the WE R Memory Keepers 3D embossing folders.
